Luno, the Africa-founded cryptocurrency exchange, announced the launch of tokenised global stocks in Nigeria on Monday.
It will become the first continent-based platform to offer direct Naira-denominated access to more than 60 US equities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The service, rolled out after a pilot in South Africa, allows Nigerians to invest in companies such as Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, and Microsoft with as little as ₦100 ($0.07). Trades are available 24 hours a day, five days a week, with plans to expand to weekend trading.
